Among the fairy tales of the Kiev Maidan there is this one; striving to be in Europe, Ukrainian citizens couldn’t wait for their march for freedom from the previously accepted Viktor Yanukovych. This talk is in reference to the so-called “dictatorial laws” from January 16, 2014. And here now, pro-European Petro Poroshenko is getting ready to surpass them. But as for a new Maidan, it’s just not there once again for some reason.
The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada [parliament] is reviewing a new law with an easy memorable number, 6688. Here is information on it from the official “European parliament” website. From a written list the law proposal was initiated by “patriots with references.” It seems like it’s the crazy Tetiana Chernovol and Dmytro (there are no Ukrainian losses) Tymchuk. And the document is promoted by the Commission on Issues of National Security and Defence of Ukraine. Which by the way led the acquiring of weapons to the snipers in the Maidan from the People’s Deputy Pashinsky.
It would seem that the patented Ukrainian “patriots” should initiate something that the augmented society would strongly support them. But no, they don’t support them. It is being talked about in social networks that the draft law 6688 is actually worse than the so-called “dictatorial laws of Yanukovych.”
Here’s an example: From the document’s text and comments, “patriots” say that allowing the draft law in effect would destroy the privacy on the Internet for citizens of Ukraine. That same opinion is held by Ukraine’s political scientists. Listen to the opinion of one of them, Vladimir Makarovsky.
“It is sadly known about this so-called draft law 6688, it is a law for concreting the information space of Ukraine. This is certain. In the guise of interesting things, in the struggle for state security and these wonderful things, there is in reality draconian methods in progress. Ones that compared to the dictatorial laws of Yanukovych, by and large is baby talk. Forgive me for this phrase. Here, and I also want to note that this law and so to speak the expanding of the president’s version of the “Ice Crown Citadel”, this is all the vision of one chain. This is a preparation for the cleaning of the legal information field, under a comfortable field for having parliamentary and presidential elections.”
For now, the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada have resisted, refusing to make a bill already used by the relevant committee for consideration. But Poroshenko’s rating’s are smaller than a plinth, and he has nowhere to retreat. So he will either crush or buy himself votes. Especially since the SBU [Ukr. State Security] is hunting and crushing any freedom of speech on the Internet.
“The SBU considers that altering the current legislature in part for security of the information security and cybersecurity, will provide introduction of a right blocking mechanism for information resources (service) on the basis of the investigative judge and court’s reasoning in the criminal proceedings. The blocker is possible from the reasoning of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, brought into line with the Ukrainian law ‘On sanctions.’ Reconciliation of Russia in the walk of hybrid war, new technology against Ukraine has turned the information sphere and cyberspace into one of the key arenas of confrontation with the aggressor.”
How convenient isn’t it? The struggle against Russia is an excellent reason to shut the mouth of whoever that dares speak. Anybody that doesn’t want to voluntarily install encryption keys, by giving all of the traffic control to the Ukrainian Gestapo, then they are a Moskal’ [derogatory for “Russian”] and an agent of Putin.
In connection with all this, there is a question, “Where is the Maidan?” The same ones promised us from every iron about the highest self-organization of the “It’s Europeans,” that they will overthrow any “evil authority,” like with Yanukovych, if even slightly they get encroached on their rights and freedoms. And what, and where? Why is nobody bringing tea, beer, a good mood, umbrellas for the sun, and not going to set up tents near the administration of the Ukrainian president? Where are all these people with three foreign spoken languages, five higher educations and seven working businesses each? Ay?
After all, the blocking of websites specified in draft law 6688 by the decision of the National Security and Defence Council or even an ordinary investigator, this is “cooler” than the “dictatorial laws” of Yanukovych. In those without the court’s decision, access to Internet resources that disseminated “illegal” information or carried out the activities of the news agency without registration received only the National Commission for State Regulation of Communications and Informatization.
It’s a shame to admit that there was no “popular protest” that happened in 2013-2014, was it? That the “little Ukrainians”, like sheep, ran after the goats-provocateurs, and did only what they were ordered by people sitting in the Verkhovna Rada of Pashinsky?
As the Ukrainian saying goes; “Since your eyes saw what you have bought, you have to die, but eat it all up.” Now eat, Ukrainian “patriots”, you jumped at Maidan exactly for this.
This draft law 6688 is an example of gross foolishness, all seen before. Brute force is being used to suppress the media and the circulation of the truth. This will backfire dramatically, making Poroshenko and his oligarchs even more unpopular, on condition it’s is even possible, bearing in mind they are already more than unpopular.
Poroshenko cannot hide the truth, as every Ukrainian can see it on a daily basis with his own eyes. Labeling someone “an agent of Putin” will make Putin and Russia even more popular. Poroshenko forgets that by December of 2017 a total of 4.4 million Ukrainians have fled to Russia and that more are moving over there.
When a minority uses brute force against the majority, this always ends up badly. Poroshenko and his oligarchs will stay in power until the bitter end, and when things start to fall apart, they will be the first to flee, as historically proven. Is there one oligarch around Poroshenko – Poroshenko included – who does not have a Western bank account ? To these people money is more important than their own country. When Greece started experiencing austerity, the Greek oligarchs moved 60 billion euros out of Greece to the West, making a bad financial situation even worse. The same has already happened in Ukraine.
Ukraine is in a social, economic and financial mess, being looted on a daily basis. The oligarchs are destroying the country and making the population look towards Russia. Of course, this was never the intention, but their greed is making this happen. And Putin ? He is sitting in the Kremlin and watching the show, compliments of the West and their foolish coup d’etat of 2014. The West has started a chain of events which cannot be stopped.
Guys, come on: At this point, it’s either “take them down, or shut up.”
We know the whole thing was fake already. The Minsk process should have bought time for an operation to remove the problem. It’s high time all discussion be cut off. No more analysis required. Keep your records but debate time is over.
Debate time is over. Over, and out. Over, over, over. End of discussion. конец. End the occupation. Or accept it.
Often, some folks get it all wrong.
Minsk 2 was put in place to freeze the conflict.
Putin wanted it frozen.
It froze (save for Ukie violations).
It wasn’t there to buy time. Debaltsevo was an utter catastrophe and the NAF could have gone far south and west and up to the top of the oblasts if Putin wanted them to.
Facts are terrible things when ignored or not known.
Who, dear commenter, is occupier? The natives living in Donbass?
It is an ethnic cleansing war by Kiev. From day one.
The Vineyard is no place for ignorance of the basic facts.
Well, Paul, nothing is stopping you from going to Novorossiya and enlisting. I’m sure your succinct advice to the veteran soldiers, Sarjanti, Lutananti, Kapitani and field grades will be muchly appreciated, and while you’re at it, do have a chat with the political leaders of Novorossiya and give them your heartfelt thoughts on who should do what, with which and to whom. That would be those who are in overall command of NAF, and if you don’t like their replies to your pleas, feel free to head to Moskau and arrange a chat with President Putin. I’m sure VVP has time to listen to your thoughts and ideas on what to do with Novorossiya.
In the meantime, we’ll continue to dig out those who need help getting out of the occupied zones of Novorossiya, an effort that is not your concern. Before you ask, we don’t need your help.

In other words, where is the CIA, and its front organizations and billions of dollars, fomenting funding and directing another “spontaneous” color revolution guided by Gene Sharp’s “From Dictatorship to Democracy”? A question that answers itself, as one notable revolutionary once remarked. When Putin last ran for office he repeatedly said of his opponents that they all articulated genuine grievances and discontent, but that none of them offered a solution consistent with the existing resources of government and country, unlike him. All these color revolutions feed upon this same gnawing discontent but offer “solutions” only for the masters who engineer the coups in the name of the people, but entirely on their own behalf.
Ukraine’s 2014 coup had its Cassandra speaking from the floor of the Rada, entirely in vain.

”It’s a shame to admit that there was no ’popular protest’ that happened in 2013-2014, was it? That the ’little Ukrainians’, like sheep, ran after the goats-provocateurs, and did only what they were ordered by people sitting in the Verkhovna Rada of Pashinsky?”
The Ukros very much resemble the Sudeten Germans of 80 years earlier. Reactionary, arrogant, deluded; fully convinced of the West’s — Nazi Germany’s — greatness and desire to have their unfounded fantasies elevated to its own prime commitment. On this basis, popular protest does materialise if and when a pack of committed, foreign rabble-rousers correctly spot fertile soil for reactionary demagoguery.
Amusingly, today’s Ukro Banderites have an even sillier perception of the glorious West than the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia. In the latter case, it was true after all that Nazi Germany had almost zero unenployment and significant social welfare. The Banderites, by contrast, happily ousted Yanukovich as per the instructions of Soros and the rest of Zionazi Western officialdom when Yanukovich refused to sign an outright colonial diktat that was spelling disaster for Ukraine.
It never ceases to amaze me how perspicacious Marie Antoinette was, understanding in full the wondrous achievements according to the formula ”cake + monumental slobs = shock troops at your disposal”. Victoria Nuland at the Maidan proved the point superbly.
“Reactionary, arrogant, deluded…”
Sounds like Bolsheviks in 1920’s.
“Amusingly, today’s Ukro Banderites…”
Well “educated” Finn repeating that boring jargon like some old 1970’s Stalinist. Why not just admitting that they are nationalists but not in group backed by Kremlin now? And why not to admit that Ukrainians will never come back to that old “unity” of USSR. Russia has permanently lost at least western part of Ukraine. Time to make Molotov-Ribbentrop pact 2.0 with Trump?
Make that ”fairly educated Swede”, and you’re pretty damn accurate, LOL.
”Why not just admitting that they are nationalists but not in group backed by Kremlin now? And why not to admit that Ukrainians will never come back to that old “unity” of USSR. Russia has permanently lost at least western part of Ukraine.”
What passes for Ukrainian ”nationalism” is absolutely nothing of the sort. Really, what kind of ”nationalists” take ostentatious pride in panting, drooling, shouting, and jumping, ultimately wreaking premeditated havoc for money handed out by Soros and Zionazi Western officialdom? The parallel with the Sudeten Germans and their beloved Konrad Henlein taking his direct orders from Hitler is striking.
But again: The Sudeten Germans had a slightly better grasp of ”contemporary reality”. The Sudeten region was hit more profoundly than the rest of Czechoslovakia by the Great Depression, due to its highly industrialized economy. The people looked in awe at Nazi Germany where unemployment had been all but abolished and the industry was thriving. With a little help from foreign rabble-rousers and the Anglo-French governments, the hapless Czech government was toast.
Ukro ”nationalists” looking for happiness, prosperity, and deep, warm sympathy in the vile EU — well, some people do tend to get what they ask for.
So what’s the biggest difference between Russian and Ukrainian oligarchy? Both countries with huge income differences and tiny elite looting great share of wealthy to their pockets. Is it time to stop this double-standard game playing?
Ukraine is a Nazi kleptocracy. As for Russia, kleptocracy levels there attained roughly those of today’s Maidanite Ukraine in the 90s. Nazism has never had much traction in Russia which also happens to be the case with liberalism.
Ukrainian oligarchs rule — as colonial puppets — the joke which is ”Ukraine”. Russian oligarchs are allowed to keep their money as long as they don’t harm the Russian state and the citizenry. The latter is firmly behind the Russian government (although not behind the oligarchs).
Bottom line: No double-standard game playing going on here. Russia advances by leaps and bounds whereas Ukraine is going down the toilet. Fair enough?
The military doctrine of USSR was clear and had at the very first place the national border security and defence in every aspects: no enemy at the gates. I don’t know what is nowadays the Russia military doctrine if they have one. With the conquer of the Ukraine by Russia western partners and the transformation of this former soviet republic in a western anti russian bastion, Russia is completely surrounded and has enemies not at the gates but in the kitchen. Maybe the new Russia consider as “national borders” only the walls of the Kremlin or the perimeter of some oligarch mansion… Out of sarcasm I think there is a lot of unexplained, untold or inexplicable in a big strategic loss such as of that of the Ukraine.
